Archie's Holiday Magic Special #1

I didn't think it was possible. Draw Archie and the gang in a more modern way but still keep the magic, humor and heart of the world's oldest teenager that millions have grown to love! Yet thanks to Micol Ostow, J. Torres and Michael Northrop, 2021's Archie's Holiday Magic Special was just that a magical holiday moment!

Archie awakens one morning to feel like he just doesn't matter. Thanks to a special festive friend, Arch is shown moments from his past, present and future. Combining elements from It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, L'il Archie and The Memory Lane stories, this 32-pager has just about everything an Archie fan would want. Except for Moose, Midge and Josie and the Pussycats!

I've always been a fan of the L'il Archie stories. The present day story took place at Hanukkah! But the future tale was absolutely great! I know that Archie's life after high school has been explored many a time. Yet those stories always tend to be dream stories. I would love it if a definitive series based on that not too far off tale with that modern art style!

 I can't believe it but this special made a believer out of me! Modern look Archie is good comics!

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
